You're right. You expect them. But are dissatisfied a of times with the results.

It's simple (three steps of consumtion): first it's euphoria, then when you have the product it's disenchantment and finally discontentment. Something like that. And I speak from personal experiences.

LOL. And don't forget the soundtrack (at the very least) of Elvis' appearance on the Roy Orbison show)!!

The kinescope of this performance supposedly does exist in the hands of the man from Alabama.

Anybody know if this Roy Orbison Show kinescope actually exists?

I did some research on this not too long ago. Below is what I shared on another topic:

Roy Orbison may not have had a record deal, but was a working Texas musician in 1955. Like many, after seeing Elvis, Scotty and Bill at the Odessa High School Field House on 2-16-1955 he turned his music towards rockabilly. Before the end of the year, the two did at least meet.

So, the TV appearance may not be "utter nonsense," only the likelihood that a kinescope exists of this visit.

In the fall of 1955, Roy was involved with a local program on KOSA-TV in Odessa, Texas, which aired Saturdays, from 4:30 to 5pm.

Elvis played Odessa at least five times in 1955, but none on a Saturday. He did appear on Friday, April 1 and Friday, October 14, with the next cities on his itineraries being Houston (on April 2) and Lubbock (on October 15).

So, given the above facts, Elvis may well have popped by Roy's local TV show on Saturday, October 15, 1955, as many rumours suggest. But we have seen nothing to date that confirms the appearance, such as a kinescope-archived film.

Thanks for the info. It would be an interesting find, if it ever happened...

And hopefully it won't be added to a greatest hits package, as "I'm Just A Roustabout" was added to "2nd To None" but included, in contect, preferably on a set that includes an early 'Tiger Man' acetate!
